My Mother/My Self: The Daughter's Search for Identity by Nancy Friday

reflective medium-paced

4.0

Hits the heart in places where you didn’t want to go, until you’re glad you did. Nancy addresses some of the deep taboos around mothers and daughters that wil hopefully be normalized in the upcoming decades. She makes the point that to be timely seperated from mother is necessary for a healthy development of the understanding of romance and what is means to be loved in general. Bold, sometimes taken too far, but activates deep questioning of thoughts that have been lurking in all of us and suppressed to keep things as they are. A recommendation for people with mom issues as well as those with the healthiest family ties out there.
